Bio: I am a third grade teacher at a small charter school in Yuba City, CA. I recently got married in Riviera Maya, in Mexico. My husband and I spent 10 days there. It was amazing, and I can't wait to go back next year. We enjoyed hiking in the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, zip lining, and going on a dinner cruise with pirates. I am excited to begin this school year, and integrate the new technology that I have learned in the past 3 days at the ISTE conference.

Tell us a little about you:

I enjoy exercising, and spending time with my family and dogs.
